R devel - Mar 2006 - Package dependencies when submitting to CRAN: policies?

What is the policy for submitting packages that depend on external
non-R code?  We'd like to add Rggobi2 to CRAN, but since the CRAN
machine won't have GGobi, I wanted to check what the policy/procedures
are.

Regards,

Hadley

I think it is worth to discuss this topic with the CRAN maintainers 
(hence Kurt Hornik, in particular).

I will come back to this in a separate thread off-list.
